About this book
Early American Dramatists: A Bio-bibliographical Dictionary
This bio-bibliographical dictionary contains about 800 cross-referenced biographies on early dramatists active in North America and the Caribbean from colonial times up to 1849, together with their nearly 4.000 plays and a detailed bibliography with each entry. Thus a gap in current literary documentation is filled up.
The dictionary presents early American playwrights with their various socio-cultural backgrounds, and names well-known authors as well as many less known or totally forgotten persons who contributed to American drama in the colonial era, during the revolutionary period, and in the years following the formation of the United States.
With its extensive bibliographical references, this dictionary is intended for literary historians and students, but should also be valuable to any reader interested in early American theater. It may also give a new impetus to further research in early American dramatic literature and its writers.

Reviews
[…] an amazingly rich collection of hitherto mostly unavailable data, and an extremely gratifying read for anyone interested in early American drama. The sheer delight in browsing through this ‘lexicon’, and discovering authors, plays, and connections as yet unknown and unheard of, constitutes an old-timey experience that has become a bibliophile rarity.
[…] The upshot of this is that of the 798 authors Müller-Klemke has retrieved, not even 1 % have withstood the trial of time.
[…] Besides the incredible detail of her bio-bibliographical research, there are more merits. […] North America in these volumes includes Canada and the Caribbean – justifiably […] The bibliographical data register not only plays the respective authors – and composers! – produced in North America, and up until 1850, but also in their home countries, and earlier or later in their lives.
[…] Die Autorin Gabriele Müller-Klemke hat mit Amerikanische Dramatiker vor 1850 ein bibliographisches Standardwerk vorgelegt. Das Lexikon dürfte eine singuläre Informationsdichte zu dem behandelten Thema bieten und sollte somit im gleichen Maße das Interesse von Amerikanistik und Theaterwissenschaft finden.
